| A lot of people accuse me of spending too much on internet. I have been told by my psychologist and a lot of other people that watching TV is considered to be a "virtue" and spending time on the computer is "bad use of time". I do not consider myself to be anti-social because I usually go to 4-6 AA ... |

| I like to socialize with NTs most of the time, but I have real problem.

I find that NTs just mingle around and usua... |

I have many, many people that I spend time with and I feel that I am making progress about moving out. My problem is that my psychologist is telling me t... |

| My complaint about Chatroulette is that I get a bunch of men jacking off. Anybody who is trying to seek a relationship has minor to serious issues with pornography addiction. They have serious issues and need to work an REBT (SMART Recovery) or a 12-step program to curb their addiction pople are pre... |

| Want to know if there any tea-baggers in here? A lot of the people that I have seen on TV are morons. However, I would expect an autistic person to be very logical in their reasoning and so have some good reason why they are tea-bagger. This country is going into the looney bin. I heard once that au... |

| Autism and alcohol do not mix. I tried to use alcohol as a social lubricant and I got myself drunk more than I want. Your ability to read verbal and nonverbal cues will significantly decrease. Your ability to use precise language and fit it to the crowd that you are dealing with goes down. For peopl... |
